This open-access Language Repository has been developed as a major innovative national and international resource to support language training for social sciences and humanities research on Central and Eastern Europe and Russia.

The Repository has the twin objectives of advancing the availability of specially designed teaching and self-study materials and promoting pedagogic reflection on language learning. It contains materials developed at universities across the CEELBAS network, as well as presentations and seminar and project reports on language-related research. These materials are accessible to interested users for the longer term through the Repository.

The CEELBAS Language Repository is curated by UCL Digital Collections.

CEELBAS is a consortium of leading UK universities, launched in 2006 as part of the UK Funding Councils' Language-Based Area Studies Initiative:Bath, Birmingham, Cambridge, Kent, Manchester, Oxford, Sheffield, SOAS, UCL, Warwick
